Green Carbon Development, led by Process Technical Services, announced that it has selected Axens Vegan’s technology for its upcoming biofuels plant in Texas. The facility will have a capacity of 10,500 barrels per stream day (BPSD).
It will use the Vegan hydroprocessing solution to produce both sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel (RD). This dual capability allows Green Carbon to adapt to market demands and maximize carbon reduction across transportation.
The project will leverage PTS’s extensive experience in plant design, operations, and startup services. It will also benefit from expertise in sourcing agricultural feedstocks and managing logistics with a selected partner. By integrating Axens’ proven technology, the venture aims to become a key part of the region’s clean energy economy.
Axens will supply the technology license, catalysts, proprietary equipment, operator training, and technical support. The company’s innovation history includes Esterfip biodiesel technology, awarded the 2007 Kirkpatrick Award for Chemical Engineering Achievement. Today, Axens’ Vegan process is a leading pathway for producing SAF and HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oils) via the HEFA process.
With numerous commercial references worldwide, Vegan enables producers to scale up SAF and RD output efficiently. It reliably supports decarbonization targets while meeting industry standards for quality and sustainability.
The partnership positions Green Carbon to deliver low-carbon biofuels that meet market needs and contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation sector.
